CALCULATOR : Pipeline Gas Density And Compressibility Factor [FREE]   ±

Calculate pipeline gas compressibility factor and density from gas temperature and pressure for selected gases.

The gas compressibility factor is calculated from the critical point temperature, critical point temperature, and the accentric factor using either the Peng Robinson, Soave, Redlich Kwong or Van Der Waals equations of state (EOS). The compressibility factor calculation is valid for gas phase only.
